"Using population growth to prevent a technical recession is a dumb an nasty way of growing the economy.. . I agree of course..... but this was Howard's policy coming out of his Big Australia debate back in '06 -- after the Cronulla riots, he had to do something to change community attitude.you clearly disagree with all of this and I don't say that its right.... its just history and the reasoning of those at the top"
What big Australia debate? It was done by stealth and the bait and switch tactic of cracking down on asylum seekers. and never enunciated to the electorate.
." but what eww now have is the effect from the removal of immigration.but if you disagree with the claims of business groups, such as BCA and IAG, you are ignoring stuff for the sake of your beliefs".
I said all along it's good for big business, the point is it's not good for the rest of us, apart from the immigrants themselves. Big business gets increased profits while the costs get socialised - like a Ponzi scheme.
